Abstract

The article explores the concept of 'police peacekeeping' in United Nations peace operations, focusing on the case of Haiti and the MINUSTAH mission from 2004 to 2017. The author, Lou Pingeot, challenges the idea that police units are inherently pro-civilian and pro-democratic, highlighting how they can perpetuate marginalization, exclusion, and violence. Through empirical research and theoretical analysis, the article reveals how peace operations can reinforce global inequalities and social order, shedding light on the complexities and contradictions of international interventions. This critical examination of peacekeeping practices is essential for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding contemporary global security dynamics and postcolonial power structures.
